All of Ms. Chappelle-Nadal’s actions demonstrate that she is totally unfit for any elected office. This endless talk about making her resign is tiresome; why wasn’t she immediately forced out of office? I truly believe that her party affiliation has provided her with protection. I believe that if she were a Republican, her exit would have been in the works the same day she made that heinous post. She can earn some redemption if she resigns this weekend and then steps out of politics for a few years to contemplate a better path forward.

If she were a Republicans and made this and called for the assassination of ANY Democrat (down to a local dog catcher) you can bet the out cry would be so loud she’d have been thrown out of office the same day, It’s time to make an example here and tamp down some of the politicians’ and “journalists'” rhetoric.

Why wasn’t the Secret Service at her door within 24 hrs? If any “white boy” would have said anything close to what she said while Barry Soetoro was in the WH, you’d have never heard from/about that person again. So why is she (or any of the others) still loose?

This person, due to the color of her skin and her gender, gets a pass. A white male saying the same thing when #44 was in office would be in jail. The comment is out there, can’t be taken back, and has gotten into the minds of many on the extreme far left (violent anti-1st amendment type) folks, of whom I know many -since I live in a liberal hotbed- who maintain respect for this person and her office. The spectre of another assassination looms. Bad stuff.

Incite to violence against a sitting President? Sedition, perhaps treason beyond malfeasance. Prosecution beyond removal from office by recall.

She is an example of the children we are raising up and legislators we elect. Get back to the basics of God, Country, Family. . . based on the Bible and the original intent of the constitution.

I wonder how she’d feel if someone threatened her or her family with the same statements….
Very sad comment ..shows where she stands on God and country…and humanity as well.

Besides being hateful, this woman (I refuse to call her a lady) is stupid for even suggesting the possible assassination of a sitting president! What if a conservative had uttered something similar about Obama? Everyone and their brother would be calling for the Secret Service to arrest that person. No, her bias is clear and her hatred is right out there for the whole world to see. She should resign, crawl in a hole and stay there.

What kind of oath did she take when elected to serve? ..The swamp is full of people like her who are full of hate and ignorance! Anyone like this should never be allowed to run for Public Office, even Dog Catcher!….Her pay should be suspended and she should be FIRED, period! The last 8 years has been allowing and teaching this kind of disrespect for anyone who disagrees with people like her. If she had any morals, she would resign!

She has proven she is nothing but a racist pig and should be removed immediately from office. If she had said such a thing about Obammy, she would have had thousands of demonstrators outside her house until she stepped down,,, Double standards exist in the dummy rat party…

Any body that speaks of assassination our president should be charged with attempt and should not be in any government office. She needs to be forced out.

A new Party needs to be formed, to take the place of the R Party. Don’t wait til tomorrow. NOW! A party of true Conservatives that will defend the Constitution the way it was written.

Build the wall Mr. Trump and get rid of McConnell, Ryan and McCain for starters. When obummer circumvented Congress…the silence was deafening!

At first she refused to make an apology or retract her statement. only days later after a Democratic U.S. Senator from MO and the Governor of that state both said she should loose her seat in the State Legislature did she realize how dire her situation had become, and only then did she recount and apologize! In othr words her apology is phony, it only was coerced from her mouth in order to save her own worthless skin to stay in the Legislature!

Nadal should be kicked out of office. If anyone –anyone of different color or if that would have been said about Pres Obama THEY WOULD BE IN JAIL THE NEXT DAY. I’m sick and tired of the double standard. When are the people of the country going to say enough is enough– God help us–!!

I would have voted for jail if it was an option as it should have been.

“Threatening the President of the United States is a felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making “any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States”. This also includes presidential candidates and former Presidents.”

Where’s the FBI and Secret Service? She should already have been arrested by now! If the shoe was on the other foot – her Republican colleague would have been! The hypocrisy is ridiculous! Throw her out and put her away. Whatever happened to the respect of the office of the POTUS?

This from a party who proclaims love and not hate. They are so vicious and hypocritical. Their agenda is to take down this country and will stop at nothing by any means and need to be stopped. I can’t say that Trump was my first choice for President but I believe he was the only man that could, would, & does go after them. I thank God for him and his boldness. I just pray he can withstand all that is coming at him. I pray God gives him strength, guidance, peace, wisdom and upholds him with His victorious right hand. This is a fight again evil!

I am humored by our members of our society who feel ‘the rules of law’, ‘rules of etiquette’, or ‘the golden rule’ does not or should not apply to them. The inconsiderate (potentially deadly) use of the phone while driving, the (over the top) vocal or visual demonstration by celebrities (American royalty? That’s a hoot!), or, dare I say it, the use of the word ‘nigger’. Oh, wait, my bad. If a white male uses the ‘n’ word, only then does our screwed up society encourage taking, or rendering an inappropriate, excessive penalty. Oh well… Forrest

How does the left always get by with threats roits. The right have no Spine just roll over every time. Half of the republicans are big dems that why I have left the party. Drain the swamp both sides.

She should be put in jail for her comment. If it would have been a average citizen of the US they would be jailed. There is a 2 tier judicial system in out country and it has to be corrected. Drain the swamp and the sewer in DC.

I believe that she can’t be arrested while Congress is session, it’s in the Constitution. To keep us from becoming a banana republic. Trust the construction it will take us free.

Very true that if she were a Republican, she would have been run out of town, or even the country for her disgusting and hate-filled comments about the President of the United States. No moral compass and no intelligence, thus, SHE is the one unfit for office.

Let’s show real tolerance. Don’t get caught up in the games of the left. No matter our opinion of her actions/words–let’s show that we do believe in our constitution She has a right to free speech. With rights come responsibilities. We should be accountable to others and we should hold others accountable. She is directly accountable to those who elected her. Let them decide if she has gone too far.

She should be put in jail for a long time. As a government official and leader she has incited terrible criminal action against our president.

Why are we even having to take a poll on this? There are people and groups just given a pass on the horrendous things they are doing and saying! We have watched our culture change to if it comes from a Democrat it is a free for all yet any other party it’s the chopping block. It is time to say “enough is enough, You’re Fired”. This skin color thing is so out of hand, if we as a country don’t stop the Democrats for ripping the country apart we are doomed.

Chappelle-Nadal’s comment was not a misspoken statement. It was an unintelligent hate-mongering outburst against the President . Where are her mentors? She is not fit for any leadership position. She is a disgrace to her constituents, and unfortunately she has many supporters who
are equally unintelligent and ill-informed.
She has the right to express such vile thoughts, and we have the right to counter
that by removing her from office. The sooner
the better. There are so many just waiting
to get the approval to do the deed. This is disastrous. She has to go, now .

Ms. MCN’s comment reflects a Repugnant,Deplorable,Disrespectful Defiant ,Obstructionist attitude towards our elected president and MAGA Taxpaying Voters who chose him over a [ your own description here]. Constitution ,Bill of Rights appreciating , law abiding citizens ( NOT knuckle dragging, cerebrally compromised Deplorables per the Clintonian & DIMMParty lexicon) do care about the “compromised” direction of our nation AND eroded personal Rights . Far too many w/in an often times AGENDA-oriented self-serving bureaucracy , have come to believe that by the power of their government position and a loose amoral standard allowed these past eight years, that accountability for their actions ( including threatening outbursts) would be “overlooked”by a Deep Seated prevailing, conspiratorial “holdover representation” glaringly evident in DC today. She, and many of her like -minded ilk have no place in our Republic…PERIOD. She should not only receive her “pink slip” for that ingrained slip of a ” vengefully loose tongue”, but a justifiable extended period of incarceration in a “bar hotel” w/ orange jump suit as well.

If it had been me making that comment Federal Officers would been on my doorstep and probably would have me in jail for making such a remark. So, do we have a set of double standards here?

If she was a Republican she would be asked to resign, because if every Republican said that about Obama don’t you think there would be a much bigger backlash by Republicans. The Dems are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

I disagree with her comment and would not vote for her because of her poor judgement and apparent lack of good character but it is up to the voters in her district to remove her from office if they judge her unfit to serve.

If she won’t resign…then have her sanctioned from the position. she will will end up on welfare, but at least she won’t be in the political arena where she and her hateful self won’t don’t such things to others.

Although I’m not sure she is much worse than those in Congress who don’t/won’t stand for the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of their sessions. Why are they even in office in the USofA? The lot of them need to be recalled and replaced.

She should be forced to resign. Had she been, as the many others have pointed out, a Republican she would have been tarred and feathered within hours of her statement. Being black does not excuse her comment. Whites are constantly being called racists and when comments are made they are vilified for them even if there is no proof they are being racists. This woman does not deserve to be in an elected office with the attitude she displays. I did not vote for Obama; I still believe he was not fit to be president. But, I never did, nor would I now say he should be assassinated. Being black does not give her a pass as she is obviously being given. She should be forced to resign or be put out.

This woman has made a statement that someone will take seriously and try to act on. Her apology will not remove it. Anyone who makes a direct threat to the U.S. President or encourages the same should be prosecuted.

Just try to imagine the reaction if a Republican had said that about Barak Obama; there would be demonstrations and riots everywhere. Wait a minute, isn’t that what we have now?

This calls for removal from office, not just stepping down so she can come back into politics later. Is the Secret Service investigating this?

Quite simply, she made out-of-bounds comments against the POTUS—against all of those people who elected him. The FBI should conduct such an intensive investigation that this person will be unable to carry out her responsibilities as a representative of the people of her district, should resign and be prevented from ever holding public office. Hold her up as a significant example of what the American People will not tolerate from its elected officials. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris—you are all next in line.

Her comment was extremely foolish. But, her comments were not illegal. Wishing something would happen is not the same as organizing or encouraging. I wish I had never said anything stupid or anything foolish. But having done so I would be unable to cast the first stone.
